2014 HYUNDAI VELOSTER Complaints

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and coming to a stop light, the vehicle lost motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer stated that no failures were found after the vehicle was inspected. The contact also stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.

The Hyundai recall doesn't fix the problem, which is the ABS Module leaks brake fluid internally which can catch fire. The claimed "fix" puts in a low current fuse that supposedly electrically will lower the risk of a fire when the ABS leaks brake fluid internally and shorts out the electrical power to the ABS Module. The problem is that the ABS Module can develop an internal leak which causes a short that fries the ABS Module and can cause a fire by igniting the brake fluid. The lower current rated fuse can still cause a fire, so I don't see the NHTSA Recall No. 23V651000 as a real fix. I want a replacement of the brake fluid leak-prone ABS Module in my 2014 Hyundai Veloster Turbo so I can safely use and park my car indoors without the potential of a fire while parked or driving. I have not experienced a fire in the recalled vehicle, but I think I am entitled to a proper "fix". I am an electrical engineer with an MSEE degree and many US patents. I have been greatly inconvenienced by following the recall warning to "park the vehicle outside (outdoors) away from structures". The outside exposure to hot temperatures, harsh sunshine, and salt air degrades the finish and mechanicals of my vehicle by following the recall warning. So Hyundai's faulty ABS Module costs me money (value of the vehicle) besides the risk and inconvenience. Make Hyundai really fix the problem by replacing the ABS Module as a minimum.

Engine started knocking at 117,xxx miles with oil changes less then 5,000 miles. Dealership acknowledged and confirmed that the rod bearings were bad. If requested could remove the rod bearings. Dealership and corporate Hyundai acknowledged the problem, but would not help cover any of the costs. The vehicle was also losing around 1 quart for every 1,000 miles which was not addressed by the dealer. This is a huge safety risk, if the bearing completely failed the vehicle would have stalled on the interstate. No check engine light is present or was present. The issues with the Veloster Turbo is well know and document from 2012-2017 regarding the failure of rod bearings prematurely. Other Kia and Hyundai vehicles have recalls for this same problem, unfortunately the Veloster does not.

Hyundai recall [XXX], since there is no remedy available, how will Hyundai compensate me? I purchased my 2014 Veloster Turbo Jan 20[15 for $23,500, dealer tells me its safe to drive, however recall tells me not to park it in my garage as it can cause a fire. If it can start a fire when it is parked, what can it do when I am driving it? [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

There is a current recall since September, 2023, with no remedy to date. In addition, I have driven this vehicle very little after last having my car serviced at the dealership, just over a year now, which seemed to not be sounding right in the engine, so it alarmed me, and all started feeling overwhelming since going to the dealership for repairs. I see there is an engine recall on the 2015 Veloster, though not the 2014? Yet they are claiming that both issues can cause fires. My vehicle has less than 100K miles if I remember correct from when I last looked. it's been months since I've even driven the vehicle, as I've not felt safe or comfortable doing so. My vehicle seems to have a lot of the same symptoms as the 2015 Veloster recall. i have been nervous to take it back to the same dealer, though I've also been too nervous to let just any mechanic look at it. When the dealer last changed my oil, a bunch leaked out in my driveway, and I was told there's a safety overflow. In addition, my oil light came on, and I was simply told they forgot to reset it.

The Rods are going bad , and Hyundai doesn’t want to admit that they did a horrible job with the engine and they don’t want to replace the engine , unless the car is a 2013 or 2016 which is ridiculous. They don’t want to honor their word.

I was driving and then all the sudden my APS light came on and my battery light next, I was driving and my car stopped moving in the middle of the road.
